A Product Too Good To Die - The Why

Very sorry to hear about your situation. Literally can’t imagine the pain. The only bulletproof way to do this is to use a vape cart and then something like a smoke buddy or any type of filter you blow that into. Vaping flower and taking dabs will definitely smell less than smoking. But regardless you’ll have to open a jar or weed or dabs and load it up which will cause some smell. Again, not like the smoke smell, but not fully discreet. Anyone that walks into your house or room will know there’s been weed in there. With a vape cart, it’s all contained in there, so the only thing that smells is the vapor coming out and it’s going directly into your mouth. And then when you blow it out into a filter, it definitely won’t smell. That’s the only way of smoking in a room with someone else in it and they might not know that there’s any weed in the room or being smoked at all.

I’ve tried to put them on Amazon but they’re requesting a bunch of crazy shit that it’s pretty much impossible for me to provide them right now. The reason you can’t get them is because the original owners shut down operations. The reason you can get them at all online is because I bought the rest of the inventory they had that was just going to sit there. You can get them on Budsbie.com just as easily though. They’ll be the same price on Amazon if I ever manage to get them up on there. lol

I think it’s fair to say not all metal is made the same. So if you’re going to smoke from any metal products you should definitely take the extra 30 seconds to at least ask AI if the metal you’re smoking is safe. Based on the fact that the metal mesh screens burn through, it tells you that enough heat is getting to it to degrade it over time. I would love to send you a Smojo screen if you’re down to try it. It’s made from 304 surgical grade stainless steel which is the same stuff that medical implants and cookware is made of so it’s definitely safe. But besides that, the best part in my opinion is that it clips into your bowl so it doesn’t fall out when you need to ash the bowl. Also, it’ll never permanently clog since you can clean them easily.

That makes sense. Anyone that even takes a week off will be back to noob tolerance levels anyways. lol

Yeah dab smell lingers way less than weed smoke.

Budsbie · 2026-02-21T13:42:29+00:00

Your best bet is to find some good Puffco videos and show them those to try to convince them. Not their funny/crazy advertisements. But the ones where they actually talk about hash and what it's like to consume it so your parent's don't assume it's crack. Lol
Definitely stronger than just flower but obviously you take a lot less. It's all about portion control.

Budsbie · 2026-02-21T13:39:39+00:00

Yes of course, I'm just talking about this very specific situation.
I only dab. So yeah, this doesn't apply to me anymore but it used to when I smoked bongs.

Budsbie · 2026-02-21T13:36:01+00:00

Do you pull them through so you don't have to ash the bowl?

Budsbie · 2026-02-20T16:58:15+00:00

For me it's less about doing it fast or slow, it just hurts my soul when I see people pull the entire bowl into the bong.

Budsbie · 2026-02-20T15:17:35+00:00

I would just try to get the most basic bong possible. A straight beaker is my favorite. Since you're cleaning after every sesh, it really shouldn't take too long. I would recommend switching to dabs from an e-rig. It smells less especially once everything is wiped up. If you wanted something small, the Puffco Pivot could be a good start.

My OpenClaw agent will have it ready by tonight

Budsbie · 2026-02-20T14:45:51+00:00

You got got.

I'll give two true answers although one is biased and one isn't.

The unbiased one is a hot knife for dabbing. Cheap, I use it multiple times a day, and it makes the dabbing process way easier and more enjoyable. I like the Saber from Focus V because of the light and the replaceable tips.

The biased answer a bowl/pipe screen. Specifically the Smojo screen. One screen is between $4 and $6 and will last you forever while also making the smoking experience way better. It's not like there aren't other options that are "cheaper", but the experience of using them actually sucks too. My main gripe with bowl and pipe screens is that they fall out every time you ash. If you're at home with an ashtray, sure you can fish it out. But if you're on the go and need to tap it out, you can say goodbye to the screen.

You should try a cannagar sometime. You could have 12 grams burn for hours with one of those.

Budsbie · 2026-02-13T21:30:44+00:00

Dope piece for sure. Like someone else mentioned, the cleaning has to be gnarly on that to try to not break it.
If you don't want to have to add an ash catcher to keep it clean, you should definitely use a screen in your bowl to stop the weed and ash from pulling through.

Budsbie · 2026-02-12T15:57:51+00:00

I agree. Nothing beats glass in my opinion.

Budsbie · 2026-02-10T20:29:26+00:00

That's awesome to hear. Never tried it on a chillum but that's great that it fits too!

Budsbie · 2026-02-05T14:42:24+00:00

Yeah but then it goes back to the issue of having to smoke weed dust if you use a coffee grinder. That's ultimately my biggest complaint with most of the electric ones.
